Firstly this is a completely different book, : and secondly the old (Oram/Talbott) book also didn't cover Berkeley : Make. There's a little in my book "Porting UNIX Software" (out of : print but available at http://www.lemis.com/grog/PUS/. It's not very : much, though. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I have a new project at work which will be developed under Linux, and I was hoping to write makefiles that would work under both OSes using the same make command. But now I'm not so sure that will work. I don't understand why BSD make and GNU make diverged so much. P.S. Greg, my wife just bought me a homebrew kit for our 1-year anniversary. I found your homebrew pages (especially the BSD-based temperature controller) quite enlightening. :-) jm --
